Upon entering the house, Lin Xue met the original owner's parents and brother and sister-in-law.
They asked curiously why Lin Xue was so late in returning.
Lin Xue recounted Mei Niang's story again, without mentioning that she had spent money.
How could parents not know how much money their daughter had? So the Fu family had no suspicions.
"That child, Mei Niang, is pitiful too!"
"Xiaoxue, spend more time with her when you have free time. After all, she's a good friend you've grown up with, and she needs you the most right now."
Fu Xiaoxue's mother was a very gentle woman.
After hearing about Mei Niang's plight, Lin Xue felt great sympathy for her and urged her to spend more time with Mei Niang.
"Mother, I know!"
"It's getting late, you and Dad should get some rest too!"
The Fu family had quite a few rooms, but many of them were empty. Lin Xue guessed that the brothers in the family were away working.
No matter how many people are in the Fu family, at least she has her own room and doesn't have to squeeze in with others.
Almost as soon as Lin Xue closed her eyes, it was already dawn.
She felt like she had slept, yet she also felt like she hadn't slept at all...
It seems that even a seemingly calm copy has many hidden complexities.
At least, the ability of sleep to replenish energy and relieve fatigue is almost zero.
I usually sleep soundly until dawn and feel refreshed and full of energy.
Today was terrible; I slept all night and it felt like I hadn't slept at all. I felt weak all over and had no energy.
"senior!"
"Senior, did you not sleep well last night either?"
When Lei Ze and the others came looking for her, Lin Xue had just come out of her own yard.
"It's like you haven't slept at all. How are you guys?"
Lin Xuesheng yawned, now really wanting to go back to bed and sleep some more.
"We are the same."
"Looks like we need to move forward in the dungeon as soon as possible, or we'll die here!"
Although this instance is not very dangerous, the villagers do not seem to be in a bad mood.
However, lack of sleep is a major problem; if it continues, it can be fatal.
"Let's leave the village first and see if we can catch up on some sleep after we leave here!"
Lin Xue was really tired, even though she usually didn't feel anything even if she didn't sleep for days.
But after just one night in this instance, my energy level dropped significantly.
If a solution isn't found soon, even Lin Xue, the mission taker, won't be able to hold on.
"Host, this instance will absorb your vital energy after the human players fall asleep."
"Unless you can stay awake forever, this instance will absorb your yang energy the moment you close your eyes!"
Lin Xue said, "Why is this dungeon so easy?"
Love awaits them here!
As expected, the horror genre remains true to its nature: insidious and vicious.
They actually dug the pit here.
"In the original story, Merlin committed suicide by jumping into a well on the night of the young master Fu's wedding."
Lin Xue rested her chin on her hand, thinking about the original plot development.
"Should we go to town and keep an eye on the Fu family?"
He drank some alcohol last night, so he's not in very good shape today.
"No need. Just pick two people to guard the Fu family's old house. Whenever the Fu family is getting a new bride, they will definitely hold a big wedding banquet at the Fu family's old house."
In the original storyline, the Fu family held their wedding in the village.
This is also what Mei Niang finds most unbearable.
"Master Fu is back!"
Just as the group was discussing the next part of the story, several shouts came from the direction of the village entrance.
Lin Xue and the others listened carefully and realized that the wealthy family had returned to the old house.
"It seems that tonight is the day of Young Master Fu's wedding. Everyone, please get ready to attend the banquet tonight."
The truly terrifying part of this instance begins when Young Master Fu marries Meiniang.
Mei Niang committed suicide by jumping into a well in the back mountain. The Mei family and the Fu family fought fiercely, and both sides were injured in the end.
Mei Niang transformed into a female ghost, protecting her closest relatives, and then slaughtered many members of the Fu family.
The plot is intricately linked, with each link filled with mystery and unknowns.
Lin Xue then sent people to guard the large well on the back mountain, hoping to find out the truth behind Mei Niang's death.
So far, the Mei Niang she knows is definitely not a woman who would commit suicide for love.
"Something terrible has happened, Xiaoxue!"
"The Fu family is back. I heard they're having a wedding banquet tonight. Fu Shaojie is marrying Meiniang tonight."
"The Fu family is really bullying us. They know perfectly well that everyone in the village knows that Fu Shaojie was engaged to our Mei Niang before."
"Before the news of the two families breaking off their engagement had even spread, they couldn't wait to marry that Meiniang."
When Ge Xiaohua ran over, Lin Xue was instructing her underlings on their next task.
The girl immediately grabbed Lin Xue's arm, but her gaze fell on Lei Ze.
"Don't worry, we already know about this!"
"We'll keep an eye on the Fu family, senior. All we need to do is keep an eye on Miss Mei!"
Lei Jie felt uncomfortable under Ge Xiaohua's gaze. His brothers had told him that this girl had a crush on him, but he hadn't believed it. Now that he saw her, it seemed that she really did have a crush on him.
Although he wanted a ghost that belonged to him alone, it was a contracted ghost.
Instead of a ghost wife.
Don't be fooled by Ge Xiaohua's current behavior, which makes her seem no different from an ordinary person. She is still a strange creature and not a real human being.
Perhaps these terrifying beings were once human, but now, living in a dungeon, their nature of life has changed.
"Then you all go and keep an eye on things at the Fu family's place first. I'm going to Mei Niang's house!"
Lin Xue pulled Ge Xiaohua, whose eyes kept glancing at Lei Ze, and the two of them went to the Mei family together.
"Xiaoxue and Xiaohua, you two are here too!"
As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they discovered that in addition to the Mei family members, there were several of the Mei sisters.
It seems everyone came to keep Mei Niang company after hearing the news, worried that something might happen to her.
"I'm really fine, why don't you believe me!"
When Lin Xue and Ge Xiaohua arrived, Mei Niang got up and poured them a cup of tea. Then, a group of young ladies sat around the table.
"Don't we play together every day? How could anything happen today!"
"Sisters, don't you agree?"
Lin Xue knew that Mei Niang must be very sad right now, but with them there, Mei Niang was able to stay strong.
As long as tonight is over.
If Mei Niang survives, this dungeon should be easily conquered without a fight.
"That's right, I even brought my thousand-layer soles with me. Little Huang, didn't you bring your embroidered items to show off together too?"
"Mei Niang's yard gets the best sunlight, so it's perfect for us to work while basking in the sun!"
Seeing that her daughter was accompanied by her friends, Aunt Mei felt a little relieved.
She planned to go inside and roast some peanuts; with so many people watching over the yard, there shouldn't be any problem.
Soon, Lin Xue and the others smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen.
Time slowly passed and evening arrived.
